well
I know there's at least one. 
I have the stock 454 (just cleaned up, bigtime, thanks to Corvettes of Auburn in WA) in my manual vert.
Pretty rare car, if I remember right from the stuff my dad told me before he gave it to me.
If you have a specific question I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask!
